Abstract: An instrument cluster assembly including a display screen having a backlight. A pointer is movable to point to different portions of an instrument cluster gauge in order to convey information to a driver or operator. A light guide is included with the pointer. The light guide is configured to receive light from the backlight of the display screen, and illuminate the pointer.

Abstract: An instrument cluster assembly is provided and includes a case assembly having a visor attached to a front side of the case assembly, the visor having at least one sound hole. The instrument cluster assembly also includes a dial sheet having at least one indicator. The instrument cluster assembly also includes a lens mounted to the visor such that the at least one indicator of the dial sheet is viewable through the lens. The instrument cluster assembly also includes a speaker that generates sound waves and a sound tube that directs the sound waves from the speaker to the at least one sound hole of the visor such that the sound waves generated by the speaker travel through the sound tube and exit the at least one sound hole of the visor without traveling through the dial sheet and the lens.

Abstract: A frame member of an instrument cluster assembly. The frame member includes a base portion, a first wing extending from a first side of the base portion, and a second side of the base portion that is opposite to the first side. A display overlapping portion extends from the base portion between the first side and the second side, and is configured to be mounted to a display area of a dial sheet that the frame member is coupled to. The first wing is configured to restrict bending of the dial sheet that the frame member is coupled to.

Abstract: A firearm training device is structured for use with the user's firearm to provide realistic simulation of the firing, recoiling and re-cocking of the weapon, while enabling the use of the training device without modification to the firearm in order to accommodate the training device, the training device being receivable in the magazine compartment of the firearm and being easily removed therefrom.

Abstract: A method for creation and review of media annotations allows creators to create different types of annotations to one or more media files of different types. Annotations are created in such a way that annotator's commands in making the annotations are also captured. Multiple creators may create annotations simultaneously and reviewers may review all the annotations in real time. Alternatively, multiple people may create annotations one by one and reviewers may review all the annotations created.

Abstract: A method and system for tracking and limiting the movement of key identified points on a movable machine, through the use of location devices positioned on the body or appendages of the machine, by comparing the sensed locations against a database of site information, and to restrict movement of the machine and/or its appendages if it has or is likely to pass through a defined boundary in the site information database.
